TOWSON, MD — Baltimore County Executive Johnny Olszewski today announced a Women’s History Month Conversation series, engaging three women leaders in a dialogue about the barriers they have faced, the successes they have achieved, and to renew a commitment to promoting a more equitable and inclusive County.
